I have a 90' LS400. Unfortunately I have the dreaded power steering leaking issue. My alternator was replaced about 3 months ago, but the power steering fluid is still currently leaking onto it. Appoximately how long will an alternator last with the power steering fluid leaking onto it daily (assuming hypothetically I do not fix the p/s leak)? My headlights and instrument cluster on my dashboard are flickering as well. I also noticed that some people have fabricated a plastic cover for the alternator (i.e. pg. 22 of LS gallery). Does the cover really work? Does it impact the performance of the alternator? Anyone, please help...
